Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 23, 2014

On the plus side, that sock must be warm and toasty now.

Pig, screaming with that Steve Smith, voice from American Dad

I may be one of the few people on earth who has actually seen a sock disappear from a dryer. Door interlock on the laundromat machine not working so it didn’t stop when I opened it. Decided I could pull out the filter, sweep out the filter and return it and reclose the door with it running..Didn’t reckon with the suction that pulls the lint into that slot. With the filter out, a light blue argyle went right down and was consumed in the heating unit.

Is that Sifl or Olly?

i guess that’s what they mean by “a sock in the eye”.

Same old story. A good sock gone bad.

during the time on jail, Killer Sock was with Loose Socket and they prayed every morning with Thick Hassock

I’m not convinced, still blame the washing machine.

That was one tough and rowdy rogue sock. But the Law got him and fried him. Pig’s anguished concern is pointless now—how many other socks do you know that drink too much beer and insult other guy’s gals? Really.

They are transformed into extra plastic container lids.

Laugh-In………………….Here Com Da Judge !

“Sock it to ME?” Richard Millhouse Nixon. circa1971

WHY do they let Stephan storyboard his own ideas!

For all we know, this just may be non-fiction.

OMG. Totally thought Stephan was setting up another gruesome pun. That was actually almost funny.

Looks like a socket to me!

Loved that program…

@Alexikakos — Nice to see Spuds Mackenzie again.

If the sock took his conviction to a higher court, would the headline be “SOCK’S APPEAL”?!?

well, it is better than what happens on the show extreme cheapskates. one female extreme cheapskate uses missing socks at the laundromat as feminine hygiene. she says she saves $$$ a year.

“Very interesting (but also stupid)!”

they could always rehabilitate the wayward sock.

Lost a sock found it later in my pants, how it got there, will never know…snicker snicker

And all this time I thought Big Foot was stealing them for his collection.

Now that’s a rock-em-sock-em story.

I still think that under appropriate conditions socks beam from dryers to attics while being transmuted into wire coat hangers.

No, you’re not!

To sum it up: The sock drank ‘sockie’, ‘socked’ the guy, and then was placed in a ‘socket.’

I covered up the last panel and spent 4 minutes trying to guess the sock pun.

A more fitting end would have been “The Stocking was hung over the mantle with care…”

Hahahahaha! I love this one.

“Verrrrry Interesting”

Yeahh – I was trying to remember what it was that Arte said, but was too limp to look it up.

No, this is wrong. To correctly understand what happens to socks, you need to understand the Quantum Theory of Laundry:http://www.laundry-alternative.com/fate-of-missing-socks/

Apparently she already had a restraining order against it for stocking.

Wow. I wonder where he thought of this one. I still liked it, despite its oddities.

“Top of the dryer, Ma! Top of the dryer!”

In a future treasury, he will comment on this cartoon being so bad he ran it on a Sunday when no one pays any attention.

My mother bought most, if not all, of the episodes of Laugh In on DVD.

And I inherited them.

I’ve even bought multiple pairs of the same sock, same colors for something to put on poor tired feet and they still hop away to the local bars and get into fights.

He was darned for all eternity.

So…so many questions here.
